Pay day can't come quick enough at this time of year but one lucky punter doesn't have to worry when his wages will drop this Christmas.

Bookies BetVictor announced today that one lucky football fan had scooped an astonishing £223,145.51 – all for a measly £5 stake!

The unnamed punter from Suffolk place a 20-team accumulator on December 13, at odds of 41,548/1 and had the perfect start as Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City , Tottenham, West Ham and West Brom all bagged wins.

Manchester United left him sweating though, with an 88th-minute Zlatan Ibrahimovic goal proving the winner against Crystal Palace to give him 7 out of 7 in the EPL to get the ball rolling.

Further wins in the Championship and League One left the punter heading into last weekend with eleven matches ticked off and a further nine wins required.

Things weren't cut and dried though with Reading scoring a 92nd minute winner, Sheffield Wednesday bagging the only goal of the game in the 94th minute and Brighton coming back from being a goal down in the 82nd minute to beat Birmingham 2-1 with a 95th minute strike.

With 18-games all coming up, Steve Bruce's Aston Villa had to beat QPR to take it to the last game.

The Villans duly obliged thanks to a 75th-minute Jonathan Kodija goal, leaving everything going on to Tottenham to beat Burnley to bring the money home.

Burnley's Ashley Barnes gave The Clarets the lead in the 22nd-minute to leave a sweaty hour or so for the punter but goals from Dele Alli and a 71st-minute winner from Danny Rose sealed the deal and brought home the bacon.

The punter, who wishes to remain anonymous was delighted with the win - which was boosted by £15k due a price promise by BetVictor - and said: “I intend to pay off some of the mortgage, and the presents for the family might just be a bit bigger than normal this Christmas."
